European Future - Superpower EU? USE?

[Risottia]

Probably 4, perhaps 5 in a reduced EU. I'd loathe it somewhat less if it were to proclaim itself the refounded [Holy] Roman Empire.

Good. We'll make you...

Well, you know, not necessarily.

Neither has both in the name. They are that .01%

I'm sure that if we calculated the exact percentage, it wouldn't be exactly 0.1%, considering there's also this, this, this and this. But that's nitpicking.

Also, the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka.

I Love the Idea of a Federalized European Superpower. Mostly to be the other main Liberal Democracy on Earth to be a rival to America. Mostly as a Counter-Balance to the growth of China.But I do think Europe would be dominated a 'Heartland" made up of Germany,France,Italy and the Low Countries.


I think it should be called the European Union or E.U.

You know what...this is all revisionist propaganda! To the gulags with you!

Fixed because we Europeans are basically a bunch of welfare-sucking commies, as every freedum-loving True Murican knows.

why should they be rivals? they are nice allies now...

Nice job. I guess we get our Warm Socialist Paradise, after all...

[Scholencia]

I would prefer a pan-European football league.

Never! Anti-stalinists, to me!

Because Command and Conquer VIII's plotline demands it.

They would be Friendly Rivals.Like they would not go to War together but they would compete for Economic,Political and Cultural Dominance.

I just think they don't exactly understand what socialist means because I haven't exactly noticed them performing any sort of socialist behavior at ALL, but that's another story.

[Risottia]

Well, we already got the Champions' League and the Europa League...

Well at least they aren't sending people to Siberia...

Both of those leagues never get Lithuanian teams past the qualifying round.

For true equality between the members of the union, shitty teams must be allowed to compete as well.

I meant the "Freedom Level" form of Liberal not the "Political" meaning.

Maybe if Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia federated, their gov't could buy 50%+1 of Barça FC.

The Tamils kind of qualify, if you use "Siberia" figuratively.

Also, three more actually democratic "People's republics": the West Ukrainian People's Republic, Ukrainian People's Republic, and Bangladesh. It must be noted that when the Ukrainians and Belarusians called their countries that, the word for "People's" that they used was 'narod', which, in East Slavic languages, can also mean 'nation', so that would make them the West Ukrainian National Republic, the Ukrainian National Republic, and the Belarusian National Republic.

I know, but it is not enough, the match are played every two-three weeks during the year.

Isn't Barca cooperatively owned?

Even the football teams in Europe are pushing the socialeist agenda.

No, only literally.

[Shrillland]

Admittedly it won't be the near future, and I think the British referendum could change the course, but I expect we will see a federal united nation of Europe, that has the potential to be the greatest superpower the world has ever known.

[Rio Cana]

1.

Without a doubt. The UK will leave in no more than 5 years, and across the rest of Europe people will begin to realise his bad it is. Germans will get fed up of bailing out Greeks, the French will begin to realise the true meaning of democracy, and the Mediterranean countries will feel that the EU has failed them. Some people talk about a United States of Europe, it will never happen. The British public are against the EU as it is, do you really think they'll agree to it?

This might sound strange but I think Portugal and Spains future lies in continuing to build ties with its former territories in Latin America. Portuguese have been going to Angola and Brazil looking for work. While Spaniards have been going to Argentina and Mexico. Yes, Mexico is said to be on the verge of a big economic boom in the next few years.

Depends on how the EU and individual European countries feel after the recession is completely over. It could either slowly fall apart, or federalize. I suspect the latter, although at a far slower pace than most expect (like, 50+ years)

Yes, because exporting to the Angolan or Argentine market is totally the same thing as exporting to the German or French market.

Sure.
